During his U.S. presidential campaign Donald Trump threatened China with the imposition of high import tariffs on its exports to United States. To evaluate repercussions such an action, this paper uses Eaton and Kortum's 2002 multi-sector, multi-country general equilibrium model intersectional linkages forecast how exports, imports, output, real wages would change if Trump's threat 45 percent is carried out. view plausible scenarios, we case a unilateral action part States, as well scenario...

Abstract In the era of energy conservation and carbon reduction, simulations analyses were carried out on three typical building types—office buildings, hotel commercial buildings—in hot summer cold winter zones, China, using Ladybug tools based Grasshopper platform. The consumption benefits static payback periods for different retrofit technologies compared. results show that retrofitting a domestic water system is highly suitable buildings. Retrofitting lift A comprehensive evaluation...

Fresh produce, as a primary source of nutrition, plays pivotal role in daily life. However, the unique characteristics fresh produce—such perishability, widespread production, short shelf life, long distribution cycles, and high volatility both supply demand—render produce chain particularly vulnerable to disruptions. These vulnerabilities not only impact consumption but also pose significant challenges operational efficiency enterprises. Enhancing resilience is crucial for businesses...

Lignin is the most abundant aromatic carbon polymer on earth. Its bioconversion essential for global cycle and bioenergy production. Microbial communities, with their versatile enzymes pathways, play a vital role in lignin biodegradation. The interactions among members of community greatly affect performance outcome, yet it significant challenge to mechanistically unravel such complex interactions. Here, we developed marine degrading bacterial consortium (LD), through “top-down” enrichment....

Considering economic, environmental, and social issues, the sustainability of supply chain has drawn considerable attention due to societal environmental changes within network. The strategic study entire process maximizing an organization’s competitive advantage depend heavily on supplier selection based sustainable indicators. Selecting suppliers for is challenging since it a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem with significant uncertainty in process. This uses VlseKriterijumska...

Abstract Extant research shows that marketers are increasingly utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) recommender systems to aid consumers in purchasing decisions across various products, but little has examined the potential negative impact of AI recommenders on consumers' green consumption intentions compared with human recommender. To address this gap, three studies reveal (vs. human) reduce motivation for impression management contexts, resulting decreased intention purchase products....

Hiking is a form of green tourism which deserves promotion and popularization, especially in present day China. However, the risks inherent hiking could have negative impact on development tourism. It important to better understand how people perceive what type experience attributes they prefer. no studies investigated nature risk perception from perspective hikers. This study explores dimensions perceived investigates associated factors as well preference. A questionnaire with 18 items was...

As digital technology and corporate management increasingly converge, enterprises are actively pursuing transformation to enhance their environmental, social, governance (ESG) performance, thereby seeking cultivate novel competitive advantages. This paper studies the impacts of risk-taking top team (TMT) as distinct mechanisms on ESG performance enterprises. The empirical findings demonstrate that has a positive influence risk-taking, well further enhancing Additionally, it was found...

Environmental carrying capacity is an essential metric for measuring regional sustainability. Although the term "carrying capacity" has been applied over a century, concept definition, quantitative methods and comprehensive evaluation remain arguable. This study analyzed of four environmental elements, including water resources, air, surface offshore sea, integrated them into index to represent overall profiles resources environment. The method was then thirteen municipalities in Bohai Sea...

Abstract. The function of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) depends on the major energy-generating compounds (i.e., ammonia oxygen). diversification AOA AOB communities along ecological gradients substrate availability in a complex environment have been much debated but rarely tested. In this study, two ecosystems maize rice crops under different fertilization regimes were selected to investigate community soil upon conversion an upland field paddy long-term acid soil....

Supply chain resilience has garnered significant attention from both scholars and practitioners. However, the complex nature of topic resulted in a dearth research on its key elements formation mechanisms. To bridge this knowledge gap, we implemented grounded theory conducted semi-structured interviews with 23 interviewees, which led to identification six supply through open coding, axial selective theoretical model saturation testing. These are product resilience, resource partner...

The marine economy has become a growth point for the regional economy. International resource exchange is mainly achieved through transportation. Ports play vital role in transportation and also an important some large-scale international rescue activities. When emergency occurs port, port logistics system impact on collection distribution of materials, which can effectively reduce negative economic loss caused by emergency. Through in-depth analysis system, design comprehensive evaluation...

Under the dual background of global industrial value chain and low-carbon emission reduction, green transformation upgrading manufacturing industry is an important way to promote production sustainable economic development. Considering that a typical complex adaptation system, based on intrinsic relationship between dynamic theory industry, this paper takes endogenous variable enterprises as entry point, simulates new old energy transformation, explores mechanism conversion process....

OBJECTIVES: This study examines the relationship between birth-place and mortality from circulatory diseases among American Blacks. METHODS: All Black deaths (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision. codes 390 through 459) were extracted National Center for Health Statistics detail files 1979 1991. Age-specific age-adjusted rates with 95% confidence intervals calculated males females combinations five regions residence at birth four death. RESULTS: Males had higher than in...

Flexibility is an important indicator to consider the uncertain information processing ability of supply chain comprehensively. It a powerful way improve efficiency and quality operation by evaluating level flexibility effectively. The traditional method used decompose evaluation indicators from perspective system structure or cost saving, but these cannot truly describe dynamics operation. Otherwise, typical multiobjective evaluation; there are some incompatibilities between flexible...
